A pair of state House and Senate bills were discussed in Washington. Proponents cited studies linking the time change to an increased risk of heart attacks and car crashes. But both bills failed to get out of committee.

In Oregon, a Senate bill would have put the decision to the voters. Opponents said if the legislation passed it would be chaotic for the state and its residents to depart from its West Coast neighbors.

The Senate committee adjourned in July 2015 without voting on the bill.
